Giving Tree Lyrics

Giving tree, giving tree

You gave to much to me from the top of your hill

Giving tree, giving tree

From the second I was born, they told me I was evil

Oh giving tree, giving tree

How do you see the good in me?

A motherly connection

Giving tree, giving tree

I've come here to ask,

Will you give me your leaves to shield from my past?

Giving tree, giving tree

You gave them so willingly

I don't know how I could ever thank

Giving tree, giving tree

I have run back to thee

I ask for your comfort to sleep

You offer your stability

Saying oh so kindly

"Oh course, mija, come rest at my feet"

Oh giving tree, giving tree

I asked to reach new heights

So you give your branches

Oh giving tree, giving tree

Oh giving tree, giving tree

I am starving

So you give me your apples to eat

Oh giving tree, giving tree

My wife she is sorry

We need a place to live

You offer me your life

Just to show that I can love

Your lumber made a home for my spirt

Oh giving tree, giving tree

Your stump is now rotted

My selfishness on full display

Even in your last seconds

You told me it was a blessing

To be able to live with me

Then you asked me to stay

So I sat there with you

Oh giving tree, for once I give to you

The only thing that I as a human know to do

A good death through and through

Giving tree

It's ok

Let go of me

Today

I'm so sorry

I stole your life

I plead, "Just forgive me"

The giving tree,

She softly looked past me

Took a deep breath in

Told me she understands

Well I was just like you

So this is what I say

It's ok to turn the page

Close this chapter there are matters

Much more pressing at hand

Like are you going to collage?

Will you have a daughter?

Things things you need to understand

Oh giving tree, giving tree

I'm so very sorry

You took your last breath with me

The rotted roots are where a cross would be

To find the buried
